Council approves housing successor funding recommendations for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing programs
Summary
Roseville's housing successor recommended grants totaling several hundred thousand dollars to local providers for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing; council adopted a resolution approving award recommendations and authorized the city manager to execute related agreements.
The City Council approved funding recommendations for the 2025–26 Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing (HPRR) program and authorized the city manager to execute the resulting grant agreements.
Housing staff presented the HPRR recommendations and described the program’s purpose: temporary assistance to prevent households from becoming homeless and to help people currently experiencing homelessness obtain permanent housing. Housing successor staff noted the city may use up to $250,000 annually from Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset (Low‑Mod) funds for HPRR and that Roseville has also deployed Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds in recent years.
Staff summarized the 2025–26 recommendations: AMI Housing, Saint Vincent de Paul and Kids First (combined allocation reported as $375,000 in the presentation), Latino Leadership Council ($25,000), The Gathering Inn ($125,000) and Salvation Army ($20,000). Staff said selection placed weight on measurable outcomes — cost per client, clients served and the ability to serve populations with multiple barriers — and noted limited total funding relative to applications (eight applications received; recommended awards prioritized by outcome metrics).
Speakers at public comment included David Loy, chief strategy officer for The Gathering Inn, who thanked the council for continued support of congregate and transitional programs, and Brian Burkett, who recounted past homelessness experience and urged continued local investment in services.
Council adopted the resolution approving the recommended awards and authorized the city manager to execute all related grant agreements. The vote to adopt the resolution was unanimous.
Staff said the program, managed in partnership with Placer County and local providers, has permanently housed 524 residents over the last four years using successor and regional resources; the city will continue to coordinate with the county continuum of care and project partners.
